Just a Memo

On Technology

Usu­al­ly, this hap­pens with files being loaded into the library don’t have the required reg­u­lar expres­sion pat­tern that XBMC is look­ing for, when it loads files into the library. That reg­u­lar expres­sion is usu­al­ly in the form of anything_s01e02 for exam­ple (sea­son num­ber, and episode num­ber). When this occurs, you may still view the episodes but you have to go through the “Files” way of view­ing it; not through your TV’s library (like the oth­er TV episodes them­selves).

After going through XBMC wiki’s page regard­ing “Nam­ing video files/TV shows,” here’s the Nzb­Drone set­tings that I use now to rename my Ani­me episode files:

#Start­up Sto­ries is a video series by NASDAQ and New York Tech Meet­up, fea­tur­ing founders from star­tups like foursquare, Bit­ly, Birch­box and War­by Park­er, shar­ing per­son­al sto­ries about build­ing their com­pa­nies.

I’ve been a long-time Flickr user and fan ever since get­ting into Pho­tog­ra­phy. It’s been more than 5-years since I’ve joined, and to this day, I still con­sid­er it (hands down) the best pho­to shar­ing site out there. It keeps it sim­ple and just makes it easy for peo­ple to do what they want to do, share their pho­tos with friends and fam­i­ly.

With the Hol­i­days upon us, we are see­ing loved ones that we don’t often see as dis­tance is usu­al­ly a fac­tor. But one thing we do to recall and make those mem­o­ries last are take pho­tos and/or videos. I had my cam­era and just snapped away dur­ing our recent fam­i­ly gath­er­ing. I then uploaded the set/album to Flickr to share it.

One thing that is lim­it­ing is that not all of my relatives/friends/family are on Flickr. Even then, you are only lim­it­ed to down­load on a per pho­to basis (at the moment?). As to find a solu­tion to have my aunt down­load the entire set/album, as she want­ed to get them print­ed at Cost­co, I dug around and for­tu­nate­ly found Flick and Share.

We all lis­ten to our music using var­i­ous ways, appli­ca­tions, and tools. Vari­ety is the spice of Life after all. So what’s anoth­er way to do so…

Exten­sionFM, or “Ex.fm”, is quite use­ful if you use Google Chrome as your pri­ma­ry brows­er. Add on to that your insa­tiable hunger to surf dif­fer­ent music blogs or sites like: Sound­Cloud, Last.fm, Beat­port, etc… this exten­sion becomes a must-install for users like you.
